To describe Japanese director Takashi Miike as prolific is to fail to tell the half of it. His IMDb listing shows 87 directorial credits in the past 20-odd years, which is frankly astonishing.

Laying a trap for him and his [...]

TIFF 2010 featured the Festival’s excellently eclectic mix of commercial and independent English language films, and a broad swathe of international cinema; the festival screened around 300 films over its 11 days (the 11th being a new addition this year to meet ticket demand, which was seemingly justified as the two films I saw on [...]
Mark Schilling at Variety is reporting the news that following Zebraman 2 (the trailer of which can be found here) and 13 Assassins (a remake of Eiichi Kudo’s 1963 film of the same name) Takashi Miike’s is working on another remake, this time of Masaki Kobayashi’s 1962 film, Harakiri (AKA Seppuku).
